The rapid advancement of gene and cell therapies necessitates innovative bioanalytical strategies due to the complexity of these drug products and their diverse delivery systems. This presentation explores evolving bioanalytical methods and considerations to address challenges in companion diagnostic development for patient screening, drug-interference-free anti-transgene product antibody assays for lysosomal storage diseases, and safety biomarker assessments for gene and cell therapies. Emerging technologies, platform assays and collaborative standardization are crucial for ensuring the safety and efficacy of novel therapies.
